Registered Members passed the "3-year" Renew Period, and Rejoin Again.
Former Community Member
Dear all,
Is any registered member out there would rejoin IET, after passing the "3-year" renew period? So, it means they need to re-take the professional review intervew! Is anyone done this before?
My understanding is that you need to re-join, but that the IET would not charge you retrospectively for a membership that you didn’t enjoy the benefit of. You should not have been describing yourself as CEng during this time, since your registration would have been suspended by Engineering Council. If as a member of the IET you wish to re-join the register without a fresh assessment within the three year window, then you will have to pay the outstanding Engineering Council fees. You need to contact the membership department to establish what that figure would be in your individual circumstances.
As part of an increased emphasis on the importance of CPD, we are likely to ask for evidence of your ongoing commitment to professional development, which is expected of a registrant, before supporting your return to the register. The policy isn’t designed to be punitive towards those who may the fees a difficult burden, but most members, who pay promptly every year also shouldn’t subsidise those who’s commitment seems more questionable.
